Navigating Inclusion Support in the Cowichan Valley
Charting our Journey
The Cowichan Valley School District is reaching out to families, friends, advocates, and partner groups who support learners with disabilities or diverse abilities to inform district communication processes.
Feedback from parents, caregivers, advocates and partner groups has led the district to carefully look at how we communicate with those that support learners with disabilities and diverse abilities. Current access to this information may cause confusion, frustration, and stress for families and we want to change that.
To that end, the District is launching this survey for anyone who currently, or may need to, navigate the District system for their diverse learner. The goal of this survey is to find out how to best provide accurate, timely, and factual information in an accessible manner.
For the purpose of this survey, we are using the term 'students with disabilities or diverse ability'. We are defining this term as: a school-age student who has an impairment of an intellectual, neurodevelopmental, psychological, physical, physiological, sensory, social/emotional, or behavioural nature, or has exceptional gifts or talents.
A simpler definition is any student who does need, or may need, additional supports to reach their full potential.
The following questions will help us learn how you currently access this information and how we can change to better serve you.
